About This Item
Sierra Club Books, 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 7x1x10. Book is in Near Fine condition, with previous owner inscription on half title page. The DJ has a small chip to front panel, price clipped. In sixty practical yet inspirational essays drawn from his Outdoor Photographer column, and in 145 stunning color photographs, world-renowned photographer Galen Rowell explains and demonstrates the techniques he uses to transform light and color into vivid, uniquely expressive art. The illuminating essays in Galen Rowell's Vision are grouped into four chapters covering the fundamental aspects of the art of adventure photography as practiced by one of its masters: "Goals," transforming dreams into realities through personal vision; "Preparations," pushing the limits of equipment, film, and technique; "Journeys," merging visions with realities; and "Realizations," communicating one's worldview through photography. Throughout, Rowell includes examples of some of his most memorable images and relates fascinating anecdotes from his extraordinary photographic career. Galen Avery Rowell (August 1940 â 2002) was a wilderness photographer, adventure photojournalist and mountaineer. He pioneered a new kind of photography in which he was not merely an observer, but considered himself a participant in the scenes that he photographed â he considered the landscape part of the adventure, and the adventure part of the landscape. Rowell won the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography in 1984. He had numerous photographic assignments for Life, National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer, and various other publications. Rowell was also a highly regarded writer on subjects ranging from photography, humanitarian and environmental issues, human visual cognition, and mountaineering, publishing numerous magazine articles and eighteen books in his lifetime.
